Milan plays host to Italian designers and global designers alike. For all things Swedish, be sure to visit the “Swedish Presence” at La Pelota, which will showcase a range of designers both young and more established.

Via Palermo 10, from 10am-10pm.

Bagatti Valsecchi Museum

In addition to opening her space for designers to showcase their work, Rossana Orlandi will also play the role of curator during Salone del Mobile.

The show includes works by important artists including Nacho Carbonell, Marcel Wanders and Wonmin Park.
